Nevermind

2018-03-01 16:02:59 UTC

Its just Illinois

2018-03-01 16:03:03 UTC

False alarm

2018-03-01 16:03:03 UTC

wew

2018-03-01 16:03:11 UTC

almost shit myself

2018-03-01 16:03:19 UTC

CUCK

2018-03-01 16:58:41 UTC

@malioswa do you live in suburban Chicago by change?

2018-03-01 17:27:41 UTC

2018-03-01 18:05:14 UTC

Here is this. I wonder what will happen if Democrats kill the bill

2018-03-01 18:14:56 UTC

I think that's Trump's plan. Let it die, and let the blame go to the democrats for refusing to compromise, and the base will be satisfied at the fact that no gun control was passed

2018-03-01 18:15:08 UTC

Wow!

2018-03-01 18:15:21 UTC

Trump's approval is 48-49 according to Zogby

2018-03-01 18:17:06 UTC

I haven't heard about Zogby in years

2018-03-01 18:17:12 UTC

for some reason

2018-03-01 18:17:27 UTC

I think the founder is right.

2018-03-01 18:17:42 UTC

Real 3D Chess.

2018-03-01 18:21:43 UTC

4D chess analogies annoy me

2018-03-01 18:21:58 UTC

they're pure speculation

2018-03-01 18:32:26 UTC

True, most people don't actually make logical justifications for them.

2018-03-01 18:32:30 UTC

They just go muh 4D Chess

2018-03-01 18:32:50 UTC

and they leave it at that (partially because few of us are anywhere near as intelligent as Trump)

2018-03-01 18:33:20 UTC

Plus we can make speculation based on public info but the fact is Trump isn't spending any time looking up that sort of stuff

2018-03-01 18:33:32 UTC

wew,

2018-03-01 18:33:41 UTC

Trump is putting in place new tariffs,

2018-03-01 18:33:50 UTC

**25%** on steel imports,

2018-03-01 18:33:57 UTC

Excellent.

2018-03-01 18:33:59 UTC

**10%** on aluminum.

2018-03-01 18:34:04 UTC

Good.

2018-03-01 18:34:13 UTC

big win for the American worker in the Rust Belt

2018-03-01 18:34:31 UTC

Hopefully there will be less Japanese steel demand, and more Japanese working on ramping up anime production.

2018-03-01 18:36:02 UTC

Animes about Japanese steel production

2018-03-01 18:36:09 UTC

@Nuke You can count on it

2018-03-01 18:38:31 UTC

I would be completely fine with Japan promoting Japanese steel with glorious anime.

2018-03-01 18:43:53 UTC

my reasoning is that Trump is savvy enough to know that talking about how he wants to pass gun control will rile his base against him and therefore make them care more, which leads to them being more likely to vote in the midterms

2018-03-01 18:48:20 UTC

RIP

2018-03-01 18:55:49 UTC

this is the guy who mailed white powder to Trump Jr

2018-03-01 19:15:50 UTC

Yep, I think Trump probably was just having some wishful thinking when he endorsed Gillespie; he wanted a Senator when he endorsed Moore; he probably made a political deal when he endorsed Strange.

2018-03-01 19:15:58 UTC

Endorsing Strange is ultimately why Moore couldn't get elected, though.

2018-03-01 21:50:40 UTC

The tarrifs will be great for Trump in that district in Northern Minnesota.

2018-03-01 21:50:53 UTC

It used to have a ton of steel jobs.

2018-03-01 22:03:30 UTC

We definitely needed to have some protectionism

2018-03-01 22:04:08 UTC

It's really the ultimate sign of america first, Trump needs to bring the jobs back to those who voted for him and to redden up Minnesota.

2018-03-01 23:23:19 UTC

tariffs help the Rust Belt vote for sure,

2018-03-01 23:23:37 UTC

it will be important to shill the tariffs among Midwesterners

2018-03-01 23:23:53 UTC

i'm going to include that as a question in my survey

2018-03-01 23:23:57 UTC

Being 21 is fake and gay to buy any gun

2018-03-01 23:24:11 UTC

u gay nigga

2018-03-01 23:24:37 UTC

Shush califag

2018-03-01 23:25:17 UTC

Agreed.

2018-03-01 23:25:23 UTC

wow rood

2018-03-01 23:25:44 UTC

18 is good but now Hannity et al are going further and even saying parents shouldn't allow their kids to use guns if they're under 21.

2018-03-01 23:25:53 UTC

i'm not like all the other champagne socialists from the bay area

2018-03-01 23:26:37 UTC

The legal gun purchasing age is only a purchasing age, of course--you can still get hunting licenses etc. in many states as a 10 year old or 12 year old.

2018-03-01 23:26:39 UTC

i'm a Christian, nuclear family man, the last of my kind here

2018-03-01 23:27:02 UTC

#NotAllCalifornians

2018-03-01 23:27:36 UTC

But when you're 18, you have a serious and legitimate need for guns for self-defense purposes; just because your parents won't buy you a gun doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to have one.

2018-03-01 23:28:10 UTC

Unlike alcohol, guns have actual usefulness and purpose. Booze and marijuana do not.

2018-03-01 23:28:36 UTC

That said with so many ages going back to 21, I believe that the voting age should go back to 21 before the gun age should go there.

2018-03-01 23:28:43 UTC

what's the appeal in drinking

2018-03-01 23:28:57 UTC

Dunno, I've heard it's a social activity from people I know who drink.

2018-03-01 23:29:01 UTC

But I'm not into it myself

2018-03-01 23:29:04 UTC

stop drinking and have white babies, cuck-o

2018-03-01 23:29:12 UTC

Indeed!

2018-03-01 23:48:53 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I went to an Orange County fair once when I went in holiday in America back last year in August 2017

2018-03-01 23:48:57 UTC

It was great

2018-03-01 23:49:06 UTC

Food was expensive tho

2018-03-01 23:49:50 UTC

sad part was my feet hurt like hell because I wasnt used to the American distances

2018-03-01 23:50:07 UTC

you had to walk for quite a while in some places

2018-03-02 01:02:15 UTC

Hannity is a nigger for supporting that bs

2018-03-02 01:09:50 UTC

What bs ?

2018-03-02 01:15:57 UTC

gun control?

2018-03-02 01:19:47 UTC

Yea

2018-03-02 01:54:02 UTC

!!!

2018-03-02 01:54:03 UTC

About half of swing state voters surveyed said they were willing to pay more for cars if that helped the U.S. steel and automotive industries.

2018-03-02 02:06:25 UTC

Yes

2018-03-02 04:00:34 UTC

if the most pro-Trump areas in the country were independent

2018-03-02 06:01:35 UTC

wut

2018-03-02 08:22:55 UTC

The reason why Im so against Democrats is that they'll turn on Asians next after white males.

2018-03-02 08:23:16 UTC

Then, hispanics and finally African American males.

2018-03-02 08:23:21 UTC

Its all divide and conquer

2018-03-02 10:44:58 UTC

@Kevin This is actually true. They are already turning on Asians. They were turning on White Women HARD after the election but after Alabama they stopped. Look at how to that they don't bother much with Hispanics now that they didn't come out in mass to vote against Trump

2018-03-02 10:45:49 UTC

Also Asian Americans are really discriminated against badly during college admission

2018-03-02 10:53:28 UTC

Exactly

2018-03-02 10:53:43 UTC

Affirmative action is why I decided to go against the Dems

2018-03-02 10:54:00 UTC

Its only a vote buying scheme in which they secure the Black and Latino vote

2018-03-02 10:54:31 UTC

plus to train future Democrat activists as a thank you from them

2018-03-02 11:11:14 UTC

@Kevin Pretty much. What ended my support for The Dems was that I started getting heavily red pilled about African Anti-White Racism in The Democratic Party. As well as the blatant Corruption. They sure as fuck don't give a shit about "The Little Guy" so long as they can atomize & undermine him.

2018-03-02 11:37:10 UTC

I feel like Asians in general aren't keen on being kept as "Pets" like Blacks usually are. Like you can't have an aspirational lifestyle with a victim mentality and Asians are usually more ambitious and successful. Like I said before on here I think Asians will be a very reliable Republican voting block in about 20 years

2018-03-02 11:37:28 UTC

Like I don't know what the Dems could offer Asians

2018-03-02 11:38:27 UTC

Their communities are as self sufficient as Whites

2018-03-02 12:00:17 UTC

Asians are proud.

2018-03-02 12:00:43 UTC

If they try to pull asian guilt or asian privilege that would turn multiple asian communities against them

2018-03-02 13:56:56 UTC

So I feel like the gun grab is changing things. Like the Right has really gotten motivated all of a sudden.

2018-03-02 14:13:15 UTC

@Den Good!

2018-03-02 14:13:22 UTC

About time.

2018-03-02 14:13:49 UTC

Also I am getting a Stripped Mauser Action & getting it converted for .300 Win Mag.

2018-03-02 14:14:04 UTC

Let them try. The can take them from my cold dead hands those filthy statists

2018-03-02 14:14:18 UTC

And seeing what "Mil-Spec" type features I can add.

2018-03-02 14:14:55 UTC

I know I want the barrel free floated & the scope to be over the action.

2018-03-02 14:15:16 UTC

Not a bad thing tbh

2018-03-02 14:15:37 UTC

I had no school today

2018-03-02 14:15:43 UTC

Lots of snow

2018-03-02 14:15:58 UTC

Plus I like how a Mauser Action has "Cock On Open". Which allows me to retain sight picture while cycling.

2018-03-02 14:16:22 UTC

Gotta love mausers

2018-03-02 14:16:25 UTC

Just that I want a 3.5 lb trigger pull.

2018-03-02 14:16:40 UTC

@Linkueigman Yup. Can take a special 9mm Rifle Round.

2018-03-02 14:17:00 UTC

Since the 3rd locking lug allows it to take high powered Rifle ammo.

2018-03-02 14:17:44 UTC

Makes me wanna get an M1A and see what I can do to improve upon it

2018-03-02 14:18:06 UTC

Make a modern battle rifle out of it

2018-03-02 14:18:58 UTC

Maybe see if I can amalgamate the Mauser Bolt and other parts w/ a set of P17 Winchester Parts.

2018-03-02 14:19:29 UTC

All in .300 Win Mag.

2018-03-02 14:19:36 UTC

Oof

2018-03-02 14:20:59 UTC

Then just get a good & sturdy Polymer Stock. Presto!

2018-03-02 14:20:59 UTC

I am partial to the 6.5 creed myself

2018-03-02 14:21:20 UTC

Eh I think .300 is good enough. Heard good things about 6.5 Grendel.

2018-03-02 14:21:27 UTC

As well as 6.5 Creed.

2018-03-02 14:48:31 UTC

@Linkueigman ALSO I can probably even modify a proprietary 10 rd SMLE Mag to take .300 Win Mag.

2018-03-02 15:25:27 UTC

Have you spoken to other Conservatives about the General state of "Liberals"? I have noticed that there has been a big increase in Silent Anger directed towards them. Like I think Conservatives are getting as pissed as Liberals are.

2018-03-02 15:39:24 UTC

They are, I notice passive-aggreaaive comments when you ask until they know the people they are speaking to hates Liberals as well, then they complain normally; but not at the rate liberals spew their toxic liberal hate

2018-03-02 15:40:20 UTC

Yeah. It's like Conservative have been mostly silenced on Social Media but if you bring anything up in private you can see the rage.

2018-03-02 16:20:54 UTC

Oh yea it happens all the time

2018-03-02 16:54:09 UTC

lmao

2018-03-02 16:54:19 UTC

i got invited to another server that's like this

2018-03-02 16:54:25 UTC

called "Red Tsunami"

2018-03-02 16:55:22 UTC

wtf

2018-03-02 16:55:30 UTC

What's it like

2018-03-02 16:55:59 UTC

2018-03-02 16:56:04 UTC

Have they really been active since 2014 or is that just a default thing?

2018-03-02 17:03:31 UTC

Ask then if they would rather join us

2018-03-02 17:03:49 UTC

How many people do we have now?

2018-03-02 17:16:36 UTC

@Den We currently have 130 members

2018-03-02 17:17:00 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ by the way, you should post your announcements and information about special elections on /r/The_Donald and /r/The_Congress

2018-03-02 17:17:23 UTC

no use preaching to 130 people spread out over a country of 330 million

2018-03-02 17:17:54 UTC

in terms of voting power, this group is a speck of dust

2018-03-02 17:18:08 UTC

in terms of ability to influence through the Internet, on the other hand..............

2018-03-02 17:22:23 UTC

Good to be decentralized.

2018-03-02 17:22:33 UTC

I don't particularly care; they are a good resource.

@Den How was your scouting mission in PA-18?

2018-03-02 19:11:52 UTC

there's a final debate at 7pm tonight

2018-03-02 19:11:58 UTC

oddly enough,

2018-03-02 19:12:09 UTC

according this poll that gives Lamb +1,

2018-03-02 19:12:34 UTC

Trump's approval here is +6

2018-03-02 19:14:59 UTC

nationwide?

2018-03-02 19:18:52 UTC

hmm

2018-03-02 19:42:06 UTC

looks like a particularly rigged poll for the D's

2018-03-02 19:43:13 UTC

Rough times atm, they're trying to squeeze this parkland thing for all it's worth

2018-03-02 19:44:30 UTC

I don't think that'll work out for them

2018-03-02 19:44:47 UTC

THE POLLSTER IS FAKE NEWS

2018-03-02 19:44:57 UTC

2018-03-02 19:45:02 UTC

DISCARD THE POLL @Deleted User @FLanon

2018-03-02 19:45:10 UTC

lmao

2018-03-02 19:45:14 UTC

What'd you find out

2018-03-02 19:45:18 UTC

yeah, I saw a comment on PredictIt saying it's a BS poll

2018-03-02 19:45:33 UTC

That's the first time you've used those exclamation marks without bad news behind it

2018-03-02 19:46:24 UTC

Well, that's good, then.

2018-03-02 19:47:01 UTC

I hope this GOP recovery comes sharp, the news about steel/aluminum should help a bit

2018-03-02 19:47:48 UTC

>we do not need to prove ourselves to anyone
umm, yes you do?

2018-03-02 19:48:05 UTC

Polls are kinda worthless if they're made up

2018-03-02 19:53:20 UTC

i feel weird

2018-03-02 19:53:25 UTC

i actually feel optimistic

2018-03-02 19:53:29 UTC

not normal

2018-03-02 19:53:43 UTC

I think that's good, let it motivate you

2018-03-02 19:54:10 UTC

Keep your wits about you, but let the energy drive you to do some good work.

2018-03-02 19:55:50 UTC

Yes

2018-03-02 19:55:58 UTC

I feel better after the recent bad news

2018-03-02 19:56:05 UTC

The blackpill is starting to wear off

2018-03-02 20:13:38 UTC

I didn't go to the rural areas BUT I actually had lunch with someone working on a PA wide political campaign!!! There is good news and Bad news. The person said that Rick may lose. BUT he said the fundamentals of Pa overall are moving very rapidly towards Republicans. It appears that the Democrat Base isn't as motivated as it would appear. It's just a small group. The problem in Pa for Republicans is voter apathy especially with the redistricting. In the case of Saccone the redistricting apathy really hurts him since it will be such a low turnout election, The upcoming Pa Senator and Governor Election will be very critical. The state is going through realignment. If that is the case that is great news since it will be much easier for Republicans to win the Presidency if Pa is light red

2018-03-02 20:14:35 UTC

Democrats HAVE to keep the governship or it will be a very critical blow to them

2018-03-02 20:14:56 UTC

Thanks for the info

2018-03-02 20:15:02 UTC

Useful stuff

2018-03-02 20:16:10 UTC

I don't want to say who he was working for because I don't want to dox myself.

2018-03-02 20:18:22 UTC

@Den Is there a day when you can visit the rural areas

2018-03-02 20:18:27 UTC

can you say if he was working for the Dems

2018-03-02 20:19:24 UTC

LOL! No he isn't working for the Dems. I don't break bread with heathens

2018-03-02 20:19:46 UTC

Fucking Unclean!!!!!

2018-03-02 20:19:50 UTC

lel

2018-03-02 20:19:57 UTC

Did he give any reasons for why Rick might lose?

2018-03-02 20:21:34 UTC

The suppressed turnout from the redistricting combined with the fact that it's low turnout overall and there is a small percentage of Dems that are highly motivated. That is all it takes in these special elections. If Lamb wins though he WILL lose in November

2018-03-02 20:30:43 UTC

Lamb isnt a bad guy tho compared to other Dems

2018-03-02 20:31:01 UTC

this is true,

2018-03-02 20:31:13 UTC

the way PA is redrawn, Lamb would lose in Nov

2018-03-02 20:31:21 UTC

_if_ he wins this month

2018-03-02 20:32:40 UTC

The problem is that I think it will help motivate Dems like Alabama did. Fucking Brannon really did a ton of damage with the loss of that seat.

2018-03-02 20:34:01 UTC

If Strangw would have gotten that nominee the Dems would have lost and lost a ton of momentum.

2018-03-02 20:38:42 UTC

@Den it hasn't even been redistrict'd yet though

2018-03-02 20:39:36 UTC

But people aren't voting if they don't even know what district they will be in a few months.

2018-03-02 20:39:46 UTC

@Den I wouldn't blame Bannon

2018-03-02 20:39:51 UTC

I'd blame McConnell and the GOPe

Any GOP Senator from Alabama would have supported Trump 95% of the time. Moore was way too divisive. He barely won his SCOTUS seat which is pathetic in Alabama

2018-03-02 20:41:32 UTC

Strange would have been fine

2018-03-02 20:44:48 UTC

I'm still wondering why people think Bannon is responsible for Moore winning in the primaries

2018-03-02 20:45:37 UTC

Well he backed him. Also a lot of people say that Brannon was leaking stuff about Moore to the media after he won the Primary

2018-03-02 20:45:48 UTC

But who knows if it's true

2018-03-02 20:47:29 UTC

People had this perception that Bannon was trying to make Trump's electoral agenda better outside the white house, and that Moore was part of that. After Moore lost and Trump publicly bashed Bannon, it became apparent that wasn't the case.

2018-03-02 20:51:54 UTC

I think Moore would still have won the primaries without Bannon's endorsement

2018-03-02 21:01:58 UTC

Yeah I think Bannon really spread the false message that the GOP was trying to undermine Trump. It was untue but if it wasn't for traitors who sunk Obamacare repel like McCain the idea would not have found traction. Plenty of blame to go around

2018-03-02 21:02:21 UTC

It wasn't just Bannon.

2018-03-02 21:02:32 UTC

isn't the GOP trying to undermine him though?

2018-03-02 21:03:00 UTC

yeah, GOP senators and congressmen seem to vote with him frequently enough

2018-03-02 21:03:16 UTC

but during the 2016 election they pulled all sorts of BS to try to sabotage Trump

2018-03-02 21:04:07 UTC

Yeah but now that he gave them the Rust Belt it's not advantageous to them. They thought he would lose. Look at the scotes

2018-03-02 21:04:27 UTC

The problem is they have too few numbers in the Senate

2018-03-02 21:05:08 UTC

here's the thing I noticed,

2018-03-02 21:05:19 UTC

in the last 4 midterm elections,

2018-03-02 21:05:23 UTC

(all of them)

2018-03-02 21:06:20 UTC

the party that was leading in the generic ballot never won by the projected margin

2018-03-02 21:06:25 UTC

for instance,

2018-03-02 21:06:33 UTC

in 2014,

2018-03-02 21:06:50 UTC

Republicans outperformed the generic ballot by 3.3 points,

2018-03-02 21:07:46 UTC

before that, Republicans underperformed by 2.6 points,

2018-03-02 21:08:14 UTC

before that, Democrats won but underperformed by 3.6 points,

2018-03-02 21:08:54 UTC

before that, Democrats over-performed by 2.9 points

2018-03-02 21:09:04 UTC

this means that in reality,

2018-03-02 21:09:45 UTC

Democrats could be leading by 9-10 points in the generic ballot and still not take the house,

2018-03-02 21:10:39 UTC

because they need to win 7-8 points in the popular vote to flip the house,

2018-03-02 21:11:40 UTC

so when adjusted with that 2.9-3.6 margin of error, being as high as 10 could not mean much, but being higher than 10 could be troubling

2018-03-02 21:15:25 UTC

It's really not just keeping the house, which is important nonetheless, but winning it with at least 230 seats

2018-03-02 21:15:38 UTC

We don't want it to be too close

2018-03-02 21:16:43 UTC

so, to get it straight

2018-03-02 21:17:13 UTC

2014: Republicans overperofrming by 3.3
2010: Republicans underperforming by 2.6
2006: Democrats underperforming by 3.6
2002: Democrats overpeforming by 2.9

2018-03-02 21:17:14 UTC

?

2018-03-02 21:17:28 UTC

correct

2018-03-02 21:17:31 UTC

keep in mind that in 2002, the GOP actually made gains

2018-03-02 21:17:44 UTC

although I wouldn't be surprised if polling methodology has changed since then
